Hence, a decided victory is one about which there is no question; a decisive victory is one which ends the contest. Decisive is applied only to things; as, a decisive sentence, a decisivedecree, a decisivejudgment. Decided is applied equally to persons and things. Thus we speak of a man as decided in his whole of conduct; and as having a decideddisgust, or a decided reluctance, to certain measures. A politic caution, a guarded circumspection, were among the ruling principles of our forefathers in their most decidedconduct. . The sentences of superiorjudges are final, decisive, and irrevocable.
